Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 935 What if my wife comes out of seclusion and sees me with a Gu-refining girl by my side? That would be terrible.

Chen Duo remained expressionless and offered no comment.

A person like her truly deserves the saying, "Life is a joke."

When she realized that Lao Liao didn't treat her as his property, she already didn't want to live anymore.

It was all a twist of fate. If He Songling had emerged from seclusion earlier, even just a year or two earlier, or even a few months earlier, he could have snatched Chen Duo from Lao Liao's hands and saved her.

Now that he knows the whole truth, he's like someone in a state of enlightenment, and he has no interest in Chen Duo's future.

Chen Duo is indeed very capable and certainly deserves a better ending, but the old sage isn't a wish-granting machine, and besides, no one made a wish to him. As for strength, he already has so many talented young men around him; one more Chen Duo won't make a difference, and one less won't make a difference either.

Besides, his wife is still alive. When she sees the news of his appearance at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, she will definitely come out of seclusion. When they meet again, he will be accompanied by a young girl who practices Gu cultivation and has inherited the Gu techniques left by Wei Shufen. Who is he missing?

I finally outlasted my rival, and now you're finding me someone younger?

Even a god like He Songling wouldn't want to face such a scene.

So, let's leave it at that.

"Hey, Lao Ling, that's a good job." Zhang Chulan gave a thumbs up. At least this time they had some semblance of accountability to the company, so it wasn't like they, the temporary workers, were completely useless and their trip was a complete waste.

"You can take all the magical artifacts from Biyou Village, and you can take all the people I don't want. But there's one thing."

He Songling's gaze swept over the group of temporary workers: "Tell the company that no torture or forced confessions are allowed. If they pass the investigation and find no major problems, they should be released. I'll be doing spot checks in a while. If I find out that any of them have been detained by you using violence, well, let them think about the consequences themselves."

He Songling's words were arrogant, which made Hei Guan'er and Xiao Zizai feel uncomfortable. They subconsciously wanted to retort, especially Xiao Zizai, whose eyes even turned a little red.

"Why are you glaring at me, Lao Xiao? Think about your master. You wouldn't want your master to waste all his skills trying to save you, only to end up not being able to send off your black-haired self, would you?"

Although He Songling's Japanese-style remarks were rude and offensive, they were indeed effective on Xiao Zizai. If one were to ask who the most important, most admired, and most guilty person in Xiao Zizai's life was, it would undoubtedly be his master, Master Jiekong.

He took two deep breaths, barely managing to calm the murderous intent surging within him.

"Since that's the case, let's distribute them. Which ones do you want? We can't beat you, we have to admit it, and I'm sure the company won't make things difficult for us later. You choose first. Everyone, no objections, right?"

Xiao Zizai's last question was directed at the temporary workers.

The temporary workers nodded involuntarily, and even Gao Yushan sent an "ok" emoji in the group chat.

"There's nothing else I need. I'll take Ma Xianhong with me. Fu Rong and Zhuge Qing have taken a liking to him; we can't let the couple be separated, can we? As for the others, you can do as you please. The magical artifacts that Ma Xianhong forged are also yours. But there's one thing I'll say again: people cannot be treated harshly, tortured, or forced. If you can't do that, I'll have to talk to your board members."

"What?" Zhang Chulan's eyes widened as he looked at Zhuge Qing. "Old Qing, are you serious?"

Zhuge Qing didn't seem shy at all and nodded naturally.

"Yeah, I've got my eye on her. I guess she's the one for me." Zhuge Qing showed absolutely no awareness of being a popular idol. His directness in expressing his thoughts on dating and even marriage would shatter the fantasies of many of his fans. "Who could possibly be so attractive to you?" Zhang Chulan wondered to himself.

There wasn't much else to say. After everyone had a meal together, Ma Xianhong gathered the entire village and explained the current situation. Although the villagers were very reluctant to part with them, they couldn't fight against the powerful. After consulting with Ren Fei, Hei Guan'er, on behalf of Na Du Tong, stated that they would be properly resettled, and everyone calmed down.

It doesn't matter who you eat with.
Many of them admired Ma Xianhong, but they were not at all in such dire need of him that they couldn't live without him.

Perhaps only Qiu Rang, who was most loyal to Ma Xianhong, would feel some sadness.

But it doesn't matter. In fact, most of the conditions He Songling proposed were aimed at Qiu Rang, since Zhuge Qing was already following him. As long as Na Du Tong doesn't use torture or illegal detention, Qiu Rang isn't a big deal. It's just a change of environment, and he can still see Ma Xianhong.

Among the twelve top-tier talents of Biyou Village, the one who knew Ma Xianhong the earliest was a man named Guo Liang. Because he was the first to know Ma Xianhong, he was aware of many of Ma Xianhong's changes and strange behavior. In order to avoid being discovered, Guo Liang was suspected of being murdered by Qu Tong to silence him.

"Good, very good, Old Ma, your subordinates are all very energetic." He Songling walked over to each of the twelve superior talents and looked at them, saying.

“I already said, we’re not subordinates, we’re just like-minded friends.” Although Ma Xianhong was in low spirits, he still couldn’t help but retort.

He created the Body Cultivation Furnace and founded the New Jie Sect in Biyou Village because of Qu Tong's alteration of the spirit with the Double Perfection Hand, and the chain reaction. But he was also sincere towards these people.

"Then how will they call you cult leader?" He Songling waved his hand. "Come on, this is the last time we'll be together. We won't be able to see each other again. Everyone, say goodbye to the cult leader!"

"Master! Farewell!" the twelve people shouted in unison, then bowed at a 45-degree angle, including Chen Duo.

"You're doing... a funeral service, right?"

Ma Xianhong's eyes twitched as he watched.

How could this group of people do something so uniformly? Some of them might have eccentric personalities, but why are Grandpa Bi and Master Zhao also doing this? Is this appropriate?

That makes perfect sense. It was originally He Songling's idea. He went out to greet these twelve people during the meal.

Of course, some were unwilling to agree, such as Zhao Guizhen and Harichagai, who claimed to be a descendant of the Golden Family. But it didn't matter; He Songling explained physics to them, and they agreed.

"Oh, Master, we will always remember you!" Qiu Rang said, his voice trembling with tears, as he pulled a white banner from his storage bag. "You will live forever in our hearts!"

"You die!"

Ma Xianhong threw out a small ball, which transformed into a meat grinder covered in sharp blades in mid-air, shattering the banner to pieces.

After smashing the banner, Ma Xianhong, with a sorrowful expression, entrusted his followers with the words: "That's how things are. I, Ma Xianhong, am powerless to guide you forward. I only hope that everything will be well for you in the future."

After saying that, he bowed deeply to everyone.
